Last night Chris Matthews referred to the former veep as a “troll”. I will give tweety credit on this line, as it was funny, as compared to his comparison of West Point as the “enemy camp” And so I present us with the official Dick Cheney troll doll:
And they came out already, starting with Hannity, who is claiming that President Obama knew about Maj. Hasan. As Cesca reminds us: After 9/11, everyone — everyone — supported President Bush. But it’s clear that the wingnuts and Republicans will never give our current president the same deference. But what about George Bush – did […]
That’s the meme the wingnuts are trying to spin right now, following the lead of Byron York: Vice President Joe Biden’s favorable rating has fallen to 42 percent in a new Gallup poll, down from a high of 59 percent just after last year’s election. Biden’s unfavorable rating in the new poll is 40 percent, […]
OK this is beyond priceless: Former Vice President Dick Cheney on Wednesday night accused the White House of dithering over the strategy for the war in Afghanistan and urged President Barack Obama to “do what it takes to win.” “Make no mistake. Signals of indecision out of Washington hurt our allies and embolden our adversaries,” […]
The news that a judge has allowed the case of Jamie Leigh Jones against Halliburton/KBR to move forward has come at a very interesting time. Jones has accused co-workers at Halliburton/KBR of kidnapping and rape.

Sen. Richard Shelby was just on Morning Joe and he was, in an oh-so serious voice, expressing concern about ACORN and the possibility of “millions of tax payer dollars wasted”. Where was Sen. Shelby when we were hearing about all the waste, fraud and abuse of Halliburton and KBR? Where was his serious face when […]
I was reading the excellent post by Sully in which he describes Chris Wallace’s interview of Dick Cheney as “a teenage girl interviewing the Jonas Brothers”. While reading it I started thinking about all the Cheney interviews in the past, and believe me there wasn’t many out there. When the going got tough, Cheney always […]
The big news is that the pressure is on for President Obama to reverse himself and start looking into the allegations of law breaking by the Bush administration: Leading Democrats on Sunday demanded investigations of how a highly classified counterterrorism program was kept secret from the Congressional leadership on the orders of Vice President Dick […]
This is rather amazing: A new national poll suggests that nearly three-quarters of all Americans support the plan to withdraw most U.S. combat troops from Iraqi cities and towns, even though most believe that the troop movements will lead to an increase in violence in that country. But nowhere near as amazing as this: “This […]
From CNN: The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, released Monday, suggests that 70 percent have a favorable opinion of Powell, who was Secretary of State during President George W. Bush’s first term, and who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Persian Gulf War. Only 30 percent of those polled have a […]
